Kowloon
Kowloon
Just across the harbor from Central, there's street upon street of hardcore consumerism in every imaginable guise. But there's much more to the Kowloon Peninsula than rock-bottom prices and goods of dubious provenance. Island residents rarely venture here -- their loss, because Kowloon's dense, gritty urban fabric is the backdrop for Hong Kong's best museums and most interesting spiritual sights.
